(Gimme Some) Good Soul Music and the sure did on that STAX label:
Before becoming The Dramatics in Detroit in 1962 Rob Davis, Ron Banks, Larry Reed, Robert Ellington, Larry “Squirrel” Demps and Elbert Wilkens were the Dynamics on the Wingate label USA. Robert Ellington left and the event led to the name change.
One of thier earlier 45’s was on the Wyngate label “Inky Dinky Wang Dang Do” which is 205 on the Northern Soul scenes bible by Kev Roberts.
In 1967 All Because of You it was only a minor hit in the USA but sought after in England. The group split after its release and the remaining Dramatics signed with producer Don Davis’ production company.
1971 The Dramatics released Watcha See Is Watcha Get which became hit and was followed by Get Up and Get Down.
